    Fastest way to learn anything on guitar is to go for it knowing you're going to suck at it at first, but with enough repetition and focus, one day you'll get it.

    My friend, thank you so much. I'm 3 years into my guitar journey, can play most of my fav songs pretty well but was stuck playing the same pentatonic lines over and over. It never occurred to me to take a chunk of a scale and play it up and down in a shifting pattern. I've worked on my alternate picking for a couple of weeks using some of your techniques here and it's made a massive difference to me. Still can't follow the metronome at high speed but I can't expect that without spending some more time. Thank you

    I just wanted to say thank you. I feel like this is what I have been missing. I've been playing for about 15 years and to be honest. I suck. To a non player I am sure I sound like a pro but i have zero improv. I skipped a lot of the basics so I could sound cool lol. 15 years later struggling to find my groove I feel like this video was it. these simple tricks and patterns really helped me find my groove and travel up and down the fretboard.
    Thank you so much

    I love this video. This proves that there really are no rules for playing guitar. There are so many different ways to play guitar. Whatever technique allows you to play your very best, is the correct way to play. This is a real fact, and one that's sadly overlooked by so many guitarists. Any technical fingering can be adjusted or manipulated into whatever works best for that individual. This is a great example of that. 😊

    Left hander who plays right-handed guitar player here. I got better by watching my right hand and focusing on the brain/right hand & arm/pick grip feedback. Before that I'd done hundreds of hours of scales & drill practices with or without a metronome---with very little limited results. My right hand dexterity was limiting my two-handed sync--at higher levels of guitar playing. Then I started watching my right hand and focusing on the brain feedback. That's when magic started to happen.

    I just recently in my guitar playing journey started to alternate pick with decent speed. What got me there was how I held the pick at a downward angle with only the front edge tip of the pick making contact with the strings. I also tried to limit my economy of motion. Smaller compact pick strokes. Made a world of difference.
